ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The application of computational models to study issues in the social sciences and humanities has been undergoing rapid development during the last decades. The conference MSBC-2022 aims to create an open panel for the effective dialogue among researchers and practitioners interested in the integration of computer science in the social sciences and humanities, focusing on data-driven operationalisation behind evidence-based decisions.

MSBC-2022 continues the subject of the 1st International & EURO Mini Conference MSBC-2019.
